About Hill Pinot Noir Scotchmans 2026
This Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir from the Bellarine Peninsula opens with an inviting bouquet of red cherries, dried rose petals, and a whisper of forest floor earthiness. On the palate, it delivers a silky, medium-bodied experience with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that speak to the cool maritime climate of the region. Flavours of fresh strawberry and pomegranate are layered with subtle notes of five spice and cedar, while a gentle savouriness adds complexity. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering red fruit and a touch of dried herb that invites another sip.
